‘Rock in Love Tour’ Benefits West Virginia’s Homeless

Written by Jason Keeling on April 28, 2008

April 28 has been a wet, chilly, and dreary day in many parts of West Virginia. Such days are particularly trying for the state’s homeless population. With that in mind, know that this weekend you can help provide for the homeless, and enjoy live music, food and community during the “Rock in Love Tour,” with events scheduled for Ravenswood, Charleston and Clarksburg from May 2 through May 4.

The events will feature various regional bands along with special guest Brandt the Homeless Evangelist. There is no charge for admittance, but attendees are asked to donate new socks, underwear, pillows, blankets and hygiene products. Area shelters and missions will be on hand to collect and distribute the items.

The tour is coordinated by The Bridge, an outreach ministry in Jackson County. Feel free to peruse the below bands and pass along this link to others.
